How many se'ifim (not simanim) are there in the entire Shulchan Aruch? Not just Orach Chaim and not the Kitzur, but the entire, unabridged sefer.
I'm trying to figure out scheduling for reviewing large parts of it.
Answer
Total
There are 13,550 seifim in Shulchan Aruch.
Breakdown
Orach Chaim — 4,170
Yoreh Deiah — 3,700
Even HaEzer — 1,988
Choshen Mishpat — 3,692
Methodology
I looked at the beginning of every siman where it says how many seifim are in that siman. I input all the data into an Excel sheet and let it calculate the totals.
In Orach Chaim the original Venice 1565 edition had no siman 603. The modern edition that I used simply took the second seif from siman 602 and made it its own siman using the number 603. The total number of seifim was not affected by this.
In Yoreh Deiah there were two places where the siman numbers are corrupted. In the original Venice 1565 edition, 169 was skipped. In the modern edition that I used they simply labeled that siman as 168/169 with 27 seifim. In the original edition the number 296 was used twice (in the modern edition I used it was 297 that was used twice) so they appear as two separate simanim.
There were also (at least) two simanim that had the wrong amount of seifim listed in the title. Siman 234 lists 72 seifim in the title but actually has 74 seifim (both in the modern edition I used as well as in the original Venice 1565 edition.) Siman 340 lists 40 seifim in the title but actually has 39 seifim in the original edition. The modern edition corrected the title to list 39 seifim.
In Even HaEzer there were two sections with no siman numbers. Seder HaGet and Seder Chalitza were counted as their own simanim, with 101 and 57 seifim respectively.
Based on the numbers provided by Josh Friedlander in his answer from Wikisource and Sefaria, I checked every discrepancy against the original Venice 1565 edition. In every instance except one, the Tzuras Hadaf edition that I used had the same number of seifim as the original edition; the Wikisource differed from the original edition in two places; and Sefaria differed from the original in 5 places:
In O.C. 106 the original edition has 3 seifim while the Wikisource has 2 (it incorporates seif 2 into seif 1).
In O.C. 219 the original edition has 9 seifim while Tzuras Hadaf and Sefaria have 10 seifim (both of them break off the last bit of the last seif into a new seif, yet they both only list 9 seifim).
In O.C. 601 and 602 the original edition had 2 seifim in each. However, the original edition skipped the number 603 for the next siman (i.e the siman after 602 is 604) so other versions tried to compensate to keep the numbers accurate. The Tzuras Hadaf edition and the Wikisource simply separated the second seif from 602 and called it siman 603, thus the total number of seifim is unchanged. Sefaria also split off that seif into a siman 603, but for some reason it has the first seif of 602 twice in siman 602, so the total number of seifim becomes off by 1.
In Y.D. 32 the original edition has 7 seifim while the Wikisource has 8 seifim (it splits off the last bit of seif 7 into a new seif).
In C.M. 41 Sefaria duplicates the last seif, so it has 5 seifim instead of 4.
In C.M. 74 Sefaria duplicates the last seif, so it has 8 seifim instead of 7.
In C.M. 76 Sefaria duplicates the last seif, so it has 4 seifim instead of 3.
Limitations
My data is based on the siman titles in the Tzuras Hadaf edition. If there are any mistakes in the siman titles regarding the number of seifim in the siman then my data for that siman will be mistaken.
Additionally, it is possible that I may have made data entry errors, in which case some of the numbers might be incorrect.
However, as per above, I corrected errors by consulting the original edition in any case of discrepancy. So unless there was a case where the Tzuras Hadaf edition, the Wikisource, and Sefaria all differed from the original edition in the same siman with the exact same difference, any errors were presumably caught.
Data
Here is the data that I entered into the Excel sheet. Anyone can feel free to check it for mistakes and point them out if they find any. (I realize this is rather messy; if anyone has any ideas of how to better present this, please suggest it.)
